Claudius - The new King and his marriage to Queen Gertrude

Wow, now I finally got what I wanted. I was waiting for this my whole life. My brother has always been the better boy in our family. My father loved him, everybody loved him. Furthermore, he even got the love of my life. That wasn’t fair. I know that Gertrude loved me more. The affair we had before King Hamlet died was just a pleasure and he STOLE HER! He always got what he wanted. Nobody CARED ABOUT ME. That’s the reason why I enjoyed killing him so much!!! I have planned this for so many years but I wasn’t sure if I am brave enough. I mean it is still my brother but when I saw him lying there, so peaceful, it was just a pleasure to put the poison in his ear. I was sick of being just the little brother of the awesome King Hamlet. Finally, I am King and everybody has to listen to me. Ahhh, I am just a genius; it was the perfect crime. Nobody saw me so there are no witnesses.

The only problem which doesn’t go away is this damn little Hamlet, this moody teenager. Can he please just die? Should I kill him too? Or What should I do with him? he goes to Germany he can built an army against me so he should stay here so I can keep an eye on him. “Keep the enemy close so you know their plan”. On the other side, I don’t really want to see him all the time. He hates me and I don’t want him to find out what I have done. I am going to keep my spies on him...
